How Do They Assist in Early Diagnosis and Intervention?
Early diagnosis and intervention are vital for managing neonatal disorders. Developmental pediatricians employ a variety of screening tools and assessments to evaluate the developmental progress of infants. They monitor the milestones in motor skills, language, social interactions, and cognitive abilities. When delays or abnormalities are detected, they formulate tailored intervention strategies, which may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Early intervention can significantly enhance the developmental trajectory of affected infants.
